Cloudbearer's Shadow

Ann Marston has the ability to create with words places I could see with my mind and might like to visit. The locations in this book remind me of a place similar to Scotland but a place filled with dark and light magic, lost kingdoms, princes and wizards. Gareth is the son of a king in exile who is called home from his foster home when his father becomes ill. He goes on a quest to find a healer for his father and Bane, his father’s rune sword lost in battle twenty years before. There is a bit of romance, some healing, some magical situations to deal with and in the end I was happy to have read this book and would read more by the author. I was gifted this ARC through Library Thing and am thankful it came my way.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was an enjoyable read with well-developed characters and a storyline that flows well. I did find it lacking a little suspense, some of it was predictable. And while this is not the first book in the series, it would help to read the previous books you don't need to. I look forward to more books from this author.

An enjoyable, easy to read book. The story is fairly similar to many others in the genre, so is pretty predictable at times. Suitable for someone looking for something light to read whilst commuting. A map would be useful as I got confused at times the names and locations of the different lands/kingdoms. Also a family tree

inizia ad essere un po ripetitivo
(se anche nel quinto mi becco il grande folgorante amore tra la fanciulla scudo e il principe mollo tutto!)
TRAMA E SPOILER: vedi libro 1 o 2 o 3

Una chicca: piccoli camei di Kian e Cullin che tornano in forma di spiriti

okay. pretty standard stuff. i'd have been happier if the author had aimed at more.
